It also works with JavaScript-heavy websites like Mastodon and Youtube, which the standard “Save Page” feature implemented in all browsers usually fails to save, though some features like collapsibles are missing.

    This doesn’t answer my question. There were two examples given in the OP, YouTube and Mastodon (which I don’t use).

    Research, engineering, and cooking are all things I do and I can’t think of a case where I’d want to save all the Javascript on a web page. If anything most interfaces are way too heavy these days. Usually saving a media file, or a pdf, or copy/ pasting text, or at most a screenshot is perfectly fine.

    What do you end up using this for?

      Probably youtube is just a bad example in this case. But javascript heavy pages were regular SaveAs doesn’t really work definitely exist, and the value is in preserving those websites information and formatting
